- W3009589419 abstract "Abstract Introduction Gasoline burns represent a significant source of preventable morbidity each year. Often used inappropriately as an accelerant, gasoline is substantially more volatile than other commonly used accelerants due to its low flash point and vapor pressure. We sought to review the clinical outcomes for patients presenting with burns caused by gasoline accelerated flame. Methods An IRB exempt retrospective study of consecutive patients presenting from 2010–2017 to a single ABA verified institution was performed. Exclusion criteria included ultraviolet burns, allergic reactions and Stevens-Johnson Syndrome. Collected patient demographics included age and gender. The primary clinical endpoint was percent total body surface area (%TBSA) burned, delineated into second or third degree burn. Secondary endpoints included length of stay (LOS), days admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), and mortality. Kruskal-Wallis Test and Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test were used for statistical comparison between the etiologies of burns. Fisher’s Exact test was used for comparison of mortality rates using a Bonferroni correction accounting for nine pairwise comparisons. Results A total of 5,994 patients were included; 256 with burns from gasoline fueled flame and 5,738 from other etiologies including flame with other accelerants, flame, scald, contact, electrical, chemical, friction, radiation, and frostbite. Gasoline burns resulted in a higher %TBSA of second degree burns (x̅=4.37%: 95% CI 3.62–5.12; p < 0.001; Table 1) and higher overall %TBSA (x̅=4.94%: 95% CI 3.99–5.88; p < 0.001; Table 2) than burns of all other etiologies except radiation burns where no statistically significant difference was found. Gasoline burns had a lower percent mortality (0.39%) than flame burns (4.98%; p< 0.05) and showed no statistically significant difference in mortality rate compared to other etiologies of burns. Comparison of second degree measures of LOS and number of ICU days yielded mixed results and lacked statistical significance. Conclusions Patients with burns caused by gasoline accelerated flame sustain a higher %TBSA of second degree burns and overall %TBSA than all other etiologies of burns except radiation burns. Applicability of Research to Practice Our results highlight the extent of burns caused by gasoline accelerated flame and underscore the importance of public education to reduce the inappropriate use of gasoline as an accelerant with the ultimate goal of reducing the significant morbidity associated with these burns." @default.
